In this spellbinding action adventure from Arnold Arre, the great master of the graphic novel, the age-old divide between good and evil widens. In a world yearning for stability, a renegade force arrives, spreading chaos amidst the populace in the form of a gruesome plague. This is when the world needs Andong Agimat--and his mysterious amulet, a talisman purposed to protect Ando and ward off evil. Get ready to meet an intriguing cast of characters, including a cult leader and the group of followers that he has transformed into a superhuman gang bent on destroying the city. And of course, you' ll meet the main character Ando--a silver-haired bounty hunter with a checkered past and supernatural abilities, taking to the streets to deal with the criminal forces beyond the reach of local law enforcement. Can Andong Agimat and his talisman' s secret powers repel the forces of chaos? Why did Arnold Arre write this book? : "What would you like to see in a superhero comic? " That was the question Arnold asked. . . Of course, Arnold already had something in mind when he asked. So what kind of superheroes did Arnold have in mind? Superheroes without the cultural trappings of American comics. Superheroes steeped in mythology but sharpened by the dirty grey tabloid world. Superheroes that are different and yet familiar. New and yet remembered.
Arnold Arre won the inaugural graphic novel Philippine National Book Award in 2000 for The Mythology Class. He is the author and illustrator of many other popular works, including Martial Law Babies, Halina Filipina, After Eden, Trip to Tagaytay and the Children of Bathala series.
